This weapon is (if i'm not mistaken) 7 item levels higher than even the heroic 25 man loot (iLevel of 284 as opposed to H25 loot at 277).

Im assuming the Proc on soul shards stacks, so at 9 stacks before Chaos Bane decides to go ahead and add some damage on there, its 360 strength+ the weps 223 default strength = death knight population spike...yay

Comentado por 436809

My questions about this beautiful axe are: #1 What is the proc rate for grabbing a bit of a soul

#2 does the 40 str stack per soul fragment taken? (1 fragment 40 str, 2 frags 80) If it does then I say before a battle ground hit a target dummy until you get 9 stacks, then first person you go after in the bg takes atleast a +620 attack power hit and (as long as not to many other people are around) an extra 2000ish dmg from the proc.

#3 And I think most importantly, would the proc break cc? The discription makes it sound like an outward wave, like arcane explosion. Also it says "Between all enemies", the simple solution is don't stand on the cc targets, but it still might be a danger to the group.

Comentado por rocketw

Before beginning his reign as the Lich King, Prince Arthas Menethil was first a servant, ruled by a sword he believed was the key to saving his people - the runeblade Frostmourne. Finding and claiming the blade among the frozen wastes of Northrend was an odyssey unto itself, and the search cost the prince his mentor, his relationship with his subjects, and his humanity. It cost the living of Azeroth far more.With a tight grip on the blade that he traded his life for, Arthas ravaged the kingdom of Lordaeron and broke free from the control of the Burning Legion. By the time the former prince ascended as the leader of the Scourge, Frostmourne was already glutted with the souls of the numberless dead who dared to oppose him.

Now, Arthas has become so inseparable from his weapon that the sword's likeness has even found its way into the architecture of his fortress, Icecrown Citadel. Its hilt is never far from his hands; its ghostly whispers constantly ring in his ears. Frostmourne, as much as the Lich King, is the ruler of Northrend.

To challenge that rule, mighty heroes will need to follow more closely in Arthas's path than ever before.

In a relentless quest to arm the forces of the living against the Scourge, Darion Mograine has formed the Ashen Verdict, a union between the most skilled craftsmen of the Argent Crusade and the Ebon Blade. Though the peerless paladins of the Crusade wield the power of the Light, and their leader clutches Ashbringer, a few of Mograine's dark warriors have begun to question their hopes for victory.

These death knights insist that the Ashbringer and the skills of the Argent Crusaders, though potent, aren't enough to best Frostmourne alone. They swear that Darion Mograine has long been quietly aware of another legendary blade - one that could be the key to defeating the Lich King and cleansing Northrend... But it doesn't exist yet.

For the moment, the weapon is a formless idea, with no more killing power than an angry thought. When it is spoken of, it is spoken of quietly, and the Highlord has a habit of silencing those who discuss it in public.

But the hope of an artifact to rival Frostmourne is strong within the minds of the Ebon Blade. Just its name inspires the furnaces to burn late into the night, the bellows to pump air, and the darker half of the Verdict's smiths to swing their hammers until their fingers fail. While other craftsmen crafters lean over whetstones and gather pitted blades by the hundreds, these few dream of a single weapon to end the war for Northrend.

Shadowmourne... A great two-handed axe fit for a giant, born of sacred and corrupt powers, host of a thousand dead souls and able to be wielded only by the most stalwart armsmasters of Azeroth. Its creation seems nearly impossible; and yet, the rumors do not cease.

Some smiths claim that Shadowmourne must be nothing more than an ordinary axe, honed to unparalleled perfection, while others would shape it from a weapon of immense import in the world. Mograine, when he can be convinced to speak of it at all, is said to believe that only the hammer of Arthas himself will provide a worthy model - but such absurd ambition is just the beginning of Shadowmourne's creation.

To contain the energies that dance across its cold edges, Shadowmourne must be hewn from piles of impure Saronite: the hardened blood of the Old God, Yogg-Saron, treated only by master metal-shapers. To fuel its power to kill, it is vital that Shadowmourne be drenched in the souls of the most potent servants of the Scourge as they are slain, one by one, with the unfinished blade. To help break through the Lich King's armor, Shadowmourne is to be adorned with fragments of the Frozen Throne, originally crafted by Kil'Jaeden out of ice from the Twisting Nether.

Only with these mighty components, it's said, can Shadowmourne be finished. And, yet, even if the axe could be completed, questions and fears remain. Is forging the souls of the deceased into a weapon treated withblood and the essence of the Twisting Nether truly any different from the crafting of the Scourge's runeblades?

Who is to say that the Lich King wouldn't simply annihilate - or control - the maker for their impudence in mimicking his most treasured possession? If Arthas, one of the most dedicated knights of his age, lost his humanity to the whispers of Frostmourne, might Shadowmourne bring the same doom and misery tothe living as its sister blade?

Without knowing the answers to these questions, who would be bold enough to try and wield it?

The WDPS is staggering, partly because we have yet to see an ilvl 277 2hander and partly because it's so ridiculously high. To put it in perspective, a person going from the ilvl 258 Dual-Blade Butcher to a Shadowmourne is the same jump as if they were to go from Betrayer of Humanity to the DBB. That is a TWO tier content jump in damage.

That's just the weapon dps alone. It's not even mentioning the 291 passive strength on the axe with a likely 360 more at a 9 soul fragment stack (assuming the 40 strength proc stacks, and isn't just a tiny added bonus), or the extra 2000 damage proc.

People obtaining this weapon over a heroic DBB will see an overall increase of around 1000 dps.

Honestly it doesn't matter if you're an orc or not this axe is still godly. The 3 slots are until now unheard of in a WotLK weapon, and for once Blizzard decided to give us 3 slots of useful colors. Although, as on orc death knight I had to stop myself from screaming when I saw this. 3 +20 strength gems = 291 (or 3 +34 strength gems = 333) strength then you add the 9 stacks of soul fragments and get 651/693 strength...then you add the 15% strength rune(it procs 24/7) and get 749/797 strength.

To be honest, I'm somewhat worried about the power of this weapon being, well, a little TOO powerful in retrospect.

Granted that few people will get their hands on this in the long run, this item will undoubtedly smash faces so hard to the point where it may take only a few (or couple) of hits to kill someone. Its DPS is 50 above any other known weapon from 3.3, and it has more than 100 strength and almost 100 more stamina, plus gemming, AND its proc. From a PvP standpoint, this thing just seems to be ungodly.

The Shadowmourne Quest Chain:

You must be friendly with the Ashen Verdict to obtain this quest.

You first must obtain Arthas' old hammer from when he was a paladin and a variety of mats (including 25 primordial saronite, basically the Icecrown equivalent of a crusader orb, and the blood of the two abomination bosses of the Plague Wing) in the quest The Sacred and the Corrupt, completing this will forge Shadow's Edge.

Then you get to harvest 1000 souls with the axe (just kill 1000 mobs in ICC on either 10 or 25 man) for A feast of Souls.

Next, you must take the axe and complete three quests involving the end bosses of the three wings of the citadel, starting with Professor Putricide in the Plagueworks, then Blood Queen Lana'thel in the Crimson Hall, and finally Sindragosa in the Frostwing Halls.

The first quest is Unholy Infusion, in which you must use the ability Shadow Infusion while controlling the abomination, then proceed to kill Professor Putricide within 6 minutes before the resulting buff wears off. This quest is only completable on 25 player mode.

The second quest is Blood Infusion. To complete the infusion for this quest you must first stand next to your tank for a moment so that you can be affected by Blood Mirror which will apply the debuff Gushing Wound, you don't need to stand there long, just a split second to apply the debuff. After getting the debuff you need use the Vampiric Bite ability twice to get the debuff to a 3 stack, then once more to apply the buff you need to have when you kill the boss to complete the quest (for a total of 3 bites). In order to get all three bites before your raid runs out of people to bite, you need to either be the first vampire, or be bitten by the first vampire. Seeing as the latter is more likely, make sure you're on the top priority to get bitten.

The third quest is, you guessed it, Frost Infusion. To complete the infusion you must get hit four times by Sindragosa's Frost Breath (Inflicts 37000 to 43000 Frost damage to enemies in a 60 yard cone in front of the caster. In addition, the targets' attack speed and chance to dodge are decreased by 50% for 6 sec. Melee range. 1.5 sec cast) four times, then proceed to kill her. Ouch.

You then get to farm bosses in the instance for a while for the quest The Splintered Throne to get 50 Shadowfrost Shards (25-50% drop chance on 25 player normal; 50-99% on 25 hard), they are looted items, however they can only be seen if someone in the raid is on this part of the quest chain.

After completing this quest, you will finally be given Shadowmourne in the quest: Shadowmourne... After obtaining the axe there is one additional quest: The Lich King's Last Stand which has you take your newly forged weapon and slay the Lich King.

This is probably the hardest legendary quest chain since Atiesh, good luck getting this beast of an axe.

Comentado por 65340

False. Epics and legendaries are actually budgeted the same way. This is nicely illustrated byt Val'anyr and the Anub ToC mace.

Legendaries are usually better itemised (like in this case!), possibly of higher ilevel (like say warglaives) and they have a procc, which is free of budgeting, making them better than epics of the same ilevel (the shadow damage + str procc, val'anyrs shield, warglaives haste procc and setbonus etc)

The OP has a fair point, but I wouldn't necessarily agree that an Orc Arms warrior would 'get the most out of it' so to speak. Let's take a fury warrior (who we'll also make an Orc, just because it suits my argument more :P), who we'll also assume has a brain, so they have 5/5 in Improved Berserker Stance. So that's 20% extra strength, so, using the same numbers as you have, fury warrior with this would have 58 extra base strength, stacking up to 130 extra strength from the proc. And that's not even taking into account the stats that a fury warrior would have on a powerful offhand weapon.

Having read most Shadowmourne comments, i ask this of you Wowhead community. Stop. there are 141 comments; 100+ of those say "This weapon is OP. YAY."; "This weapon i too OP. QQ."; "I crit my pants twice". This is a desirable item, with indeed incredible stat allocation, and Paladins, Warriors and Death Knights will be lining up to get this as soon as possible. It may impact pvp, certainly, but do not state comparisons before s8 is even released. This is meant to be obtainable by few, and I doubt any endgame guild would allow this to go to a PvPer. Should a full endgame pve player enter arenas, at a higher level, he'll still be CCed to death. Where this trashes is mostly on lower brackets. Get ratings first, QQ later.

My point is, no point on having 30248712098471029834701928347 comments on how strong the weapon is. Anyone understanding the basics of WoW stats can see that. Keep it unflooded, K?

Classes: Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight

Oh well, I guess it should go to the real men. The original warriors...Sorry, they have bleeds which ignore armor.

Now we have a conundrum.

Theorycrafting:

This stacking +str buff that explodes to a weak aoe, gives an interesting mechanic:For maximizing dps, rotations will probably need to be modified, so that the most damaging attacks are done with a full stack of Soul Fragment. (+360str)

Looking forward to find out if this is true (which will happen only after the weapon is on live servers, and numbers are put to the test).

As epic as your commenting history is, I think "all you fury warrior retards" is a bit of an unfounded generalisation. I'm a prot/fury warrior myself, and I can see why it wouldn't be possible to dual wield. Sure, some people haven't seen that, but that's not because they're fury warriors, it's because they're slow on the uptake, or joking.

Oh, and your third point, even though it's 100% your opinion, is not a reason that fury warriors can't DW Shadowmournes :)

tl;dr: There are stupid people in both Alliance and Horde, in all classes, and all specs. Stop generalising.

It's a nice legendary, but cannot replace Frostmourne 100%. All WoW players are waiting for the blade of Arthas, but all we can do is wait for a hero in the Lore to defeat the Lich King and take up his runeblade. We can also suppose the fact that the currently unknown ''hero'' will remove the curse the blade carries and make it a simbol of Light and Justice. This means that the battle Death Knight - Paladin will bring the victory to the Paladin and, so, to all humanity that will face at that moment the terrible danger of Deathwing. This is simply my idea, but, who knows what Blizzard will bring in the first place in the next expansion(s). After all, anything is possible, but I am sure it will be great.

I think the itemization for this weapon is crazy awesome. I love it!Three red sockets! I'm putting three Dragon's eyes into this!Oh, and I'm not going to forget the weapon enchant! But wait! There's more!Soul Fragment will stack up to 9 times, summing up to another 270 strength! (That is, before you make your next swing which causes Chaos bane).

So 223 Strength initiallyplus 34 strength from each Dragon's eye (102 strength) 8 from the socket bonusand then 270 strength from Soul Fragment

add it together you get 603 strength

now just take that, and double it to get your AP total: 1206 APnow add Berserk: 1606 AP(for those who do not have Jewelcrafting as their profession, the final AP would be 1522 with three 20 str gems)That's a lot of AP for one weapon

It does release the power once you have 10 stacks, but the release is not automatic once you reach 10 stacks. The release also functions off the Chance on Hit, and thus, until it is activated for the 11th time, you will have 10 stacks providing 40 strength each and adding up to 400str.

Short version: Chance on hit x 10 to stack the shards, then one more Chance on Hit to activate the release

In fact many are forgetting the +8 strength from the socket bonus. So if you add 3xhttp://ptr.wowhead.com/?item=42142 you'll actually get 3*34 + 8 = 110 strength + the 223 from the weapon = 333 (I know some have said this. Just a reminder). And if you're a fury warrior you get +20% strength if you know how to spend your talents (333*1.2 = 399.6 strength) (http://ptr.wowhead.com/?spell=29763)Many people also have different opinions about if Retribution Paladins should actually get this or not. I was thinking no in the start, as many other, because psychical damage ain't the biggest factor of the Retribution Paladin's overall damage. BUT blizzard actually made a talent for Paladin's at start under the Protection Talent Tree which gives +15% strength (http://ptr.wowhead.com/?spell=20266) (333*1.15 = 382.95 strength). Yes sometimes does Blizzard make a mistake or two. But if you have a physical overall output of 40% damage, then this will still be an upgrade. BUT it's still more useable by a Death Knight or Warrior, because their damage rely MOSTLY on physical damage.As the difference between Attack power per strength is slightly different I wont say that 400 strength = 800 attack power as some might say.To be honest I don't know much about Death Knights, because I've never had an interest in them, so I can't give an example of +% strength because I don't know if they have such thing.But no matter what this is a legendary weapon that would kick so much ass that, you'll just sit there and watch a person kill everything like critters.And if you're so lucky that you'll get it your self, you must be an remarkable person. Because this weapon will never be given to a noob, except the MasterLooter is a retard.

Assume that a warrior will wield it with 20% str increase and stack the 10% from kings upon that. Then you'll get 725x1,20x1,10*2+400=2314AP from this weapon with 10 stacks ;)

I think it was wrong to downrate Niasiini. He/She (idk) has a valid point. To this date, the only permanent Legendaries available were tailored to Melee, Healers, or Staff-based characters. Although, I believe there was an Atiesh designed for feral druids, elemental shamans are still waiting for their turn. And if you think Val'nyr is the answer, you obviously have yet to grow a brain, despite having already been born. More importantly is kind of silly that for each game/expansion/incremental patch only one select group gets a legendary weapon.

I have no idea how to use a quote function here, so imagine a quote bubble around this: "edit4: Alright, just to clear things up, I did not include the class specific bonuses and buffs. I only included what THIS WEAPON will offer. If you want to do that on your own time thats fine, but I don't want to get people on a rant because "Oh, I'm a warrior so I gain " and "Oh, I'm a Death Knight and I gain " you can include that in your own theorycrafting :D"- I didn't mean to say that you wanted to do anything else, but "you forgot to mention" is just a way to start a post (as you might've noticed others do as well). :p

Actually the Shadow damage proc is released on WEAPON SWING, after the swing which grants you the 10's stack of the buff, you should have one swing timer worth of time where you DO benifit from the full 400 (given that this is not much since your swing timer probably wont align with your GCD, giving you one instant attack most of the time, and 2 if you're lucky).Also, on the next swing, i.e. the swing that actually releases the shadow damage, you will also benifit from the full 400 Strength.

Shadowmourne is an excellent weapon for any melee class. This weapon would be amazing for a DeathKnight tank as well.

Axe - Increased expertise if you're an Orc.

High Damage - Increased threat.

High Strength - Increased threat as well as parry.

High Stamina - Increased HP.

Three Sockets - Perfect for Stamina gems.

High Critical Strike Rating - Increased threat.

High Armor Penetration - Increased threat.

Special Ability - Stacking threat as well as parry, and after the stack is complete you cause AE damage in turn giving more AE threat which is where DeathKnights are lacking.

As I've said before, this weapon is good for any melee class; I just wanted to explain why it would be amazing for a DeathKnight tank.

I think that this is a replacement of Frostmourne.. Because Frostmourne is/would be way too powerful for a player to carry.If it is right what I have heard, Frostmourne drains the soul of anything it kills, and the wielder will get those powers.

It doesnt only drain the soul from anything it kills, because Arthas' soul was the first it claimed. And he didnt die when his soul was taken..

Edit: I know the weapons are two way different things, but still I think it is a replacement. Because you cannot get Froustmourne, they made a new weapon.. Shadowmourne!And it doesnt fit 100% in because Shadowmourne was made to kill the Lich King, but you cannot get it before you have killed him! Edit: You can get it before killing him...

If you dont understand me read this:

I think Blizzard tought about if they should allow players to use Froustmourne or not.. And they chose to not allow us. And I think they also tought that we would be a little mad about it, so they made a new weapon. A replacement.

Of course I am not sure! Edit: Not at all

While it might not be the best after Cata comes out fury warriors who build there trees just right will have the 5 new points to invest into Sword Spec, Poleaxe Spec or Mace Spec in the arms tree.

I regret that this thing is NOT worth the cost of making it.

It may be cool looking, and lord knows I wanted it, but adding both Val'Anyr level boss grinding, combined with 25 Primordial Saronite, is more than a bit too inaccessible.

575 Frost Badges worth of Primordial Saronite, a full ICC clear, and 50 random drop shards? No way, no how.

The 575 Frost Badges alone is price enough for a weapon like this, which while excellent, isn't so much better than the rest of the drops in 25 ICC to be worth it. Maybe if those Shadowfrost shards were a quest type drop where multiple people could collect them simultaneously, but with their low drop rate, they just aren't worth trying for in most guilds.

I understand legendaries are supposed to be awe-inspiring weapons, but relative to the difficulty in getting it, I don't know if it's worth it. It's not as if it is Val'Anyr in that the items them selves are passive and that's all that's required, you have to frontload a rediculous amount of mats before you can even start the gathergrind.

Comentado por 185084

Unfortunately, too many people are going to want said axe. Any and all DKs, Ret Paladins and DPS warriors would love to get their hands on it.

My problem with it is that they made it effectively twice as expensive to make in time and resources as any of the other legendaries. It's up there in the cost/time requirements of Thunderfury, and by and large, they are trying to make things more accessible for people not in the highest tier guilds. 25 Primordial Saronite, and an ICC clear (which may require hardmodes), followed by the 1000kill grind is probably about right for the power of the weapon. Maybe a few Shadowfrost shards like 10-20 even, but not 50 at the proposed drop rate, more than what it'd take to make the Ulduar hammer. Especially as this is a 'crafted' weapon, not one bound by history and lore.

25 Primordial Saronite, assuming the guild is doing some of the donating, means that there aren't going to be many of those BiS patterns bought, made or anything of the sort. Even if people are getting some/most of their own saronite, it's not exactly cheap, and would mean that they are skipping, or seriously delaying most of their Tier 10 stuff to do it.

To Friedchicken17:I think you are wrong about Death Knights.

Why is it there? Because it could be useful for DKs!

EDIT: I have changed my mind a little, but I wouldnt say Armor Penetration is completely useless for DKs! When in a fight with more than 2 people.. Then your Blood Boil and diseases would do a big part of your DPS. But with only one target diseases is only there to improve your damage on some abilities.

This isnt true, for Death Knights at least, because we have many instant attacks that completely ignore the weapons speed, so for us (and probably the other classes), it will be a short time in a fight before we hit 10 stacks.

Mind you, none of us has seen a player w\ Shadowmourne actually trying to face the Lich King. The description from Blizz implies that Shadowmourne is Frostmourne's "sister blade", i.e. roughly equal to it in power and.. EVIL.

Now, would you be so kind as to recall the WotLK trailer?"Only then will you realise, that you have been following MY footsteps all along"

Just imagine this scene - a ret pally (or a death knight, or warrior) enters the throne chamber, and then the following dialogue happens.

The Lich King - So, you have indeed decided to sacrifice your friends to get this blade. You are stronger, than I thought.Player - Don't waste words, Arthas. All I can hear now is my blade speaking to me.The Lich King - You hate me. It is good. Now, let your anger, your grief, your lust for vengeance consume you, turn them into your weapon - only then will you be able to defeat me. Only then will you be able to have your revenge!Player - Enough! Let's finish this!

Player charges onward, only to be consumed by his/her dark side, and to be transformed into Arthas's new weapon.The Lich King - Your fate was sealed from the moment you vowed revenge.The Lich King - Now, my new champion, let's show them the power of the Dark Blades, shall we? NOW FROSTMOURNE!Player (succumbed to the dark) - NOW SHADOWMOURNE!

The 40 Strength will stack up very slow , as the weapon has a 3,7s speed and only 20% chance to trigger the effect . The effect will stack up in 3,7x50=185 seconds on average - affected by haste ! . The effect will give a buff for 60 seconds ( as of now, 30/11/09 ) that stacks and refreshes duration each time you gain a new Soul Fragment.

( b4 downrating the 185 seconds average time to get the stack to 10 remember that a 20% chance to proc a thing on a long run will proc the thing each 5th swing - on AVERAGE .. just like a shaman's Windfury )

Even if a weapon is 3.7s speed, special attacks mean you are attacking almost every second. The weapon states "your weapon swings" which would include heroic strike, slam, whirlwind etc for warriors. I would expect the shards to get used up quite quickly in a raid environment.

Just a pity for fury warriors that it is unique :p

Hey pally, learn some other classes talents. You think only ret have +% Str?

FYI, Fury Warr have +20% Str, which makes it givin even more Str to them. DK's have multiple talents that give +% to Str. Now place your "Kings" and "JC" in there and make your calculations. So who have more benefit - pally or warr/DK?

Your "Other classes" calculation is a fail causea) No classes can aquire SM but a pala/war/dk. And paladin receive the lowest Str among these three.b) Ret pallys have zero benefit from ArP. All your yellow attacks is a magic which ignores armor.

Comentado por Supercool

Incorrect. Blizzard has said that stat conversion values will go down, i.e., how much raw value you get out of a stat. They didn't like people getting 40% crit or more in the introductory raid, and they certainly didn't like people getting anywhere near the crit caps. So the amount of crit you get per point of rating is going to get hit very hard, but this does not mean that they're going to give you new gear with significantly higher amounts of crit to make up for it, because that's counter to their intentions. They don't want you to make up for it. They want people fresh at 85 to have low stat values so there is room to go up.

So no, you will not be replacing Shadowmourne with any greens, at least not until the level cap is raised to 90.

The order you list for this step is different from what wowhead shows in the quest chain. The put this step after Shadow's Edge step. Is this another PTR bug, or can you confirm the order listed in your walk through is correct?

Far be it for me to @#$%^ being a clothie lock, but where`s the balance? UiF I`m lucky enough to realise a warrior is gunna charge and bladestorm , and I`ve already got my teleport somewhere. If not then I, gentlemen,....am f**ked! DK`s and pals I don`t worry about with my demon`s. and ability ;)

Lets look at it .....Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 114. well thats ok because I got my my demon armor. thank god it gives me extra armor.....oh dear I forgot about.....Increases your armor penetration rating by 114 . so not only is there not an escape mech in the lock setup (bladestorm I believe can not be interrupted), any armor we could have is bypassed. by 1 (yes ppl, ONE) item.

Can it at least come with a nice message when you die? Like the orange drink that we had, tango.....

......" The Lich King Says.........YOU`VE BEEN SHADOWMOURNED!"

I could then accept that it`s not only the warriors ability to hit 2 keys and point his toon in the right direction that killed me, it was this OP weapon.

The 40 Strength will stack up very slow , as the weapon has a 3,7s speed and only 20% chance to trigger the effect .The effect will stack up in 3,7x50=185 seconds on average - affected by haste ! . The effect will give a buff for 60 seconds ( as of now, 30/11/09 ) that stacks and refreshes duration each time you gain a new Soul Fragment.

( b4 downrating the 185 seconds average time to get the stack to 10 remember that a 20% chance to proc a thing on a long run will proc the thing each 5th swing - on AVERAGE .. just like a shaman's Windfury )

20% proc rate believe it or not is a very HIGH PROC RATE. What your not thinking about or including is instant attacks made by the wielder can proc this as well.

Fun way to look at it, Bladestorm + Sweeping strikes. In essence the way your are stating it is to say if i auto attack, with no attack speed buffs, then it will take me approximately 185 seconds to reach a 10 stack. Fun times...

So lets just says that 3.7 base attack speed, will not be their attack speed in a raid, no matter the comp.

Contrary to what most people have said, Chaos Bane does not activate on 10 stacks, but in fact on your next swing AFTER you have acquired ten stacks of the buff. Therefore when you proc a shard at 9 stacks, you will hit 10 stacks, and +400str.

Your next strike will que Chaos Bane, and unleash the shards, and your str bonus. This is a great time for Death Knights to tie up with Blood Lust, activate speed pots, trinkets, blood fury (for the orcs), and pop your Gargoyle/Dancing Rune Weapon.

If you can manage to get a hang on succesfully tying these all together you can summon a pet that will do TONS of damage.

So my Death Knight tank guildie just told me that ret pallies SHOULD NOT get this weapon because it has armor penetration. As a ret pally i laughed. For all u Ret Pallies who roll on this you are evil people! Ignore the 68 strength u could get from socketing 3 Cardinal Rubies, or the 223 strength it alredy has, this weapon is worthless because of the Armor Penetration. Plus the proc and the 114 extra crit strike rating are lame anyway. O and BTW if u roll on DPS plate as a ret pally go shoot urself, and anything with strength should go to a warrior. So in conclusion Ret Pallies should not roll on gear anymore. Ever.

Psst, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, and auto-attacks are all physical. 35%-40% of my damage in Ret is physical and I don't even have the 2-piece T10 set bonus yet: Lightsworn Shoulderplates that would increase physical damage yet more. Armor Pen. is going to be very valuable to a ret pally in ICC raids.

@viror: What are you talking about? The gear change in Wrath was nowhere near as huge. Kara gear lasted until 74 blues and 78 greens, and BT/Sunwell gear was good enough to raid in. It was not at all like replacing your Blackwing Lair epics before you even got into Zangarmarsh. (by Supercool)

I thought I'd test this claim. To make things simple, I picked caster cloaks to compare:

In this example, the BWL cloak lasts at least 2 lvls into TBC while the Kara cloak is already outdated the moment you can wear it. In summary, the real question should be "@Supercool: What are you talking about?"

technically this is a tanking weapon... for death knights. whether you like it or not, shadowmourne was designed with dk's in mind: -our spells deal double damage on crits (crit rating is more important to us then pallies)-dk's generally want a really big, slow weapon due to the fact that most of our attacks are weapon damage-armour penetration is good for melee, period.

Nonetheless, it is still completely usable for a ret pally or arms/fury warrior.Ok i know you people dont like death knights but is that really a good reason to downrate this?

I understand what you feel, being a hunter main, but c'mon...In the hands of a hunter, it should be called Deathwish. Hunters use melee weapons to defend themselves, not draw unwanted attention to themselves. You can't time a MD to transfer threat from a random proc. And the only useful stat is ArP and maybe crit

That said, if you actually want to tank an instance (no raids or heroics, please!), then it would be useful. I'm talking about running through friends and guildmates, or just soloing old-world content when your pet needs the stats of a low-end tank.

Plus, it's not like you'd be 'stealing' it from its intended users - just asking for way too much from an ICC raid group. End-game raids are not for carrying people - especially new ones.

I can see that the text says "Your weapon swings have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment granting you 30 strength. ..."

Does this mean that only this weapon's actual swings (not skills) and "Next Melee" attacks (ex: Heroic Strike) will have a chance of proc'ing it? So almost all classes that can use it will have pretty much the same chances of getting the buffs to stack if they're fighting a monster... outside of getting more haste or talents that provide a speed increase?

Now I'm not going to get too much into this whole "arms is the best class for this axe-discussion" paladins, death knights and warriors can obtain this axe and put it to good use as well.

Now I have yet to see what the damage proc is like, but Death Knights have Blood Presence which will up the damage by 15% and a talent "Black Ice" further increasing its damage, and the "Ebon Plaguebringer" which is probably one of the most useful death knight abilities, being able to afflict multiple targets with the equivalent of "Curse of Elements" boosting the damage even further by 13%.

Haste could also factor in on this whole thing, as how many swings you do affects how many Shadow Banes you make during a fight, both paladins and death knights put haste to better use than warriors wielding this as a 2H dps frost Death Knight you are able to increase your own haste by 5% at all times and 20% when applying Icy Touch (basically at all times as well). Paladins also get more strength from "Divine Strength" gaining 15% more strength also being able to apply BoK to themselves further increasing that by 10% they also have "Vengeance" which increases their physical and magical damage by 9% when stacked, and they keep this to a maxed stack pretty much the entire time they are in combat. Due to the nature of paladins they are epic keyboard smashers, limited only by the cooldown on their abilities, for example Crusader Strike and Divine Storm are two abilities directly affected by their weapon damage, also their seals are affected by their weapons in some cases, for example "Seal of Command" is affected by the weapon damage, and "Seal of Righteousness" is affected by weapon speed.

Clearly this axe is great for arms warriors for many reasons including the ones mentioned by the original poster.The reasons would be the way that arms warriors utilize their weapon, they're bleed effects are affected by their weapon, they get 6% more damage with two-handers from two-handed weapon specialization, 5% more crit with axe specialization, 10% more speed with blood frenzy their bleed effects are affected by weapon damage and this is axe is the most damaging weapon thus far in the world of warcraft.

Now I'm aware you're not saying thats the "ONLY" class/race combo but you are saying it is the best class/race combo thats where you've got me confused, now I'm not saying it is the best class/race combo, I don't know what the best class/race combo is but you haven't really proven why Arms-Warrior/Orc is the class that gets the most from this axe.

If anything is clear, it is that this axe is awesome for any class capable of wielding it not just Orc warriors that have chosen to spec Arms.

So from reading this, the argument seems a lot bigger than what it seemed at first doesn't it?And I'm not saying that Death Knights would put this weapon to its best use in their hands, I'm simply saying that we all will put this weapon to a good use, and in the end I think it relies more on the player that wields it rather than what class/spec/race he is. Giving an arms warrior priority on shards for this weapon would be a waste if the warrior was less skilled than the other guy, a person that does not maximize their performance will never perform as well as a good, skilled and concentrated player.

To answer all the people asking about it, no, as of 3/15/2010, no one has managed to create a Shadowmourne.

Sindragosa, the last boss of the infusion quests, was implemented on 2/2/2010. Since then, there have been 6 total dungeon resets.

We CAN estimate the max # of shards anyone could have by now, but this requires mathematically impossible conditions. Let's look anyway.

Situation 1: Max Shards

A) The individual had already completed both the Putricide and Blood Queen attempts.B) The guild in question killed the Lich King the first week he was available, and continued to clear the instance after each reset.

The first week Sindragosa was available, you had to clear to her. At that point, you could potentially get the Sindragosa infusion, then kill the plague wing (3 bosses), Blood wing (2 bosses), and the Lich King.

Max Shards after week 1: 6

ICC Has 12 bosses in it, so you could potentially attain 12 shards per week (Mathematically impossible, since even on heroic the drop rate is not 100%... but let's go with it.)

Since we are currently still in week 6, it's statistically VERY unlikely anyone will have a Shadowmourne by now. That said, it's possible we will see one either tomorrow or Wednesday (3/16 or 3/17, beginning of Week 7), and we should definitely see the first Shadowmourne by week 8 (3/23).

As for me... 15 shards and counting. (I'm in a casual guild).

We can probably expect to see Shadowmourne numbers explode pretty rapidly in a month or two, as more casual players obtain the shards needed.... and since ICC as a whole will be ridiculously easy to complete once the 30% buff is implemented. Also, this may even open up the possibility (if not the probability) of even the truly casual players picking up Shadowfrost Shards from PUGs.

Comentado por 531712

The only thing I dislike about this weapon and most of WoW's weapons, is that it totally puts the other ones out of business. I mean if you're level 80 and could have any weapon, there is no choice. It's this one. It really makes you feel epic I guess having this, but I think they should have more balanced weapons to a certain level. Like maybe other weapons that are just as powerful as this, but in different ways.

I also gotta wonder what casters are going to do once this thing becomes used a lot. I mean it seems like it will really buff up any melee class that has their hand on this, and casters can only make their spells so much more powerful. (The new level 85 cap should help... but it will help melee's too).

No no, not at all, what is a good reason to downrate it is your ignorance in assuming a certain class takes priority when its stats are pefectly suited for any melee dps capable of using this, thus the *Death knight, warrior, paladin* Tab.

A viable tank weapon for a death knight, yes, its stacking strength and AoE would create large amounts of threat, as it would also cause DPS for DPS. It wasnt built with any class in particular in mind, it was made for those devoted enough to go get it and put it to use as they see fit.

For a Ret Paladin, it takes about 5 seconds to get the 30 strength up to 10, and then Chaos Bane goes off.The stacking strength adds up to be about 155 strength average for 5 seconds, and then the 270 strength for 10 seconds (you can't stack it while Chaos Bane is up).

For Ret, you can assume the value of the proc is 155 *1/3 + 270*2/3 =~215 strength plus 2100 shadow every 15 seconds = 140 dps. For Ret strength is ~2.2 dps, so 613 dps just from the special ability.

So tell me, anyone, how much Attack power that is?

And dont forget the .... legendary Shadowmourne.

Imagining two Shadowmournes in a arena team of TSG is just mind blowing.

Comentado por kardemumma

I know i would get downrated... but this is the best dk tanking wepon in the game. It has around 200 stam, and with 3 sockets you can get additional 90 stamina (198+90=288 stamina). Also, all tons of strengh will boost your parry very much, and with Chill of the Throne, Parry and Block is overall better than trying to get more dodge. Last, Chaos Bone seems to be a very nice AoE attack that will give some more threat.

this should at MINIMUM reward 50 emblems of frost or something good like that, this is a dam impressive quest chain to complete

this also sucks because once the next blizzard instance is released and emblems of frost drop in random heroics, everyone and their mother will have shadowmourne, dont get me wrong you still need to down all these bosses and get the SF shards which still wont be to easy but still, this games gettin way to easy

Comentado por 301506

By xBlazex on 11/18/2009 (Patch 3.2.2)This axe is beastly, being able to have up to 291 Strength + 360 more from the proc.

And Orc Arms Warriors will be extra happy as this is an Axe.

Also, our second permanent available to players Legendary 2h Weapon.

And to be even clearer on why Arms Warriors and Orcs would love this it is because Arms Warriors get Poleaxe Specialization and Orcs get Axe Specialization therefore, an Orc Arms Warrior gets 5% more crit and 5 more Expertise (about 41 Rating) than other race/class combinations.

But, also don't think I'm saying this is for ONLY that race/class combination, just that that combination gets a lot more than others for just having it equipped.

Just wait till cata when we can have something like THIS on a orc warrior. by the way i was not being realistic just going for the end result of titans + poleaxe specialization + orc racial = total pwnage =O but of course rather stupidly, i forgot about the (supposedly MAJOR) changes to racials. the link above may no longer exist :(

So, Shadowmourne is the Best Weapon you can achieve from Quests/Raiding in WotLK...If I were you, I'd wait a bit... Until Cataclysm... Level to 85, get some Epics, and go create this Weapon.At Level 85 + 30% Damage/Healing/Health Buff it will be easy to get this pretty fast...Also, it will last until 4.1(Epics from the Last Expansion last until the first Tier of the others, so Legendaries would until the Second, seemingly...), so It's gonna be a worthwhile investment, and it will not take much :).

Comentado por 382219

Yes would be a good tanking weapon, but if your taking the quest items for this axe before any dps in your guild get them your a horrible tank. It's best in slot for pretty much all classes that can use it, but dps should get this before a DK tank since a huge dps increase is worth more sometimes than a little more health.

Actually, if your Guild's Main Tank is a Blood Death Knight, you'd be a Bad DPS...The Strength on it will give a Death Knight about 55.75 Parry Rating, plus the Proc which would also be a Huge DPS increase while AoE is needed. I agree that MTs shouldn't deal with Adds, but Mobs are still there :).Huge Threat Gain + 56 Parry = BEST in Slot for Blood Tanks.

Raid DPS > personal DPS.

You can out-DPS everyone in the raid with 2 mp5 gems and Giantslayer enchant, but that won't make you a good DPS. You can squeeze more out of it, and your raid MIGHT just need that "little" more DPS to get something down.

This is the reason we all use top-end enchants, and top-end gems, even on gear that quite frankly can kick plenty o' ass on it's own - to bring out the most of what we have, and bring the greatest possibile raid DPS.

While on one end, it might be a funny novelty thing, but that wears thin pretty quick, turning said "WIN" into a "FAIL" of epic proportions - That's like enchanting Val'anyr with +2 Beastslaying, or enchanting Hand of Ragnaros with +healing. It's an utter waste to give something like these items to someone who'd rather troll the server with it, than bring raid DPS.

You are almost right, but the best class for this axe is paladin mainly because amrs warrior gain +4% strenght from the arms tallent and paladins gain +15% strength from divine strength tallent, also the proc chance deals shadow damage, and ret paladins have bonus spell power from the tallent that converts percentage of their AP into SP, also its very good for DKs because they also gain much strength, and i think because of the shadow bolt proc too, but im not sure how DK spell power scales, anyway its better for DK then for warrior so warriors go on last position

Screencaps and the 3D model viewer do it no justice. In game it IS superior to the 'Frostmourne' that blizz is teasing us with. I think that most of the arguments that people are (stupidly?) making about it is due to the teaser having a measly 2 more stamina than Shadowmourne. My point being that anyone who would rather have the trinket that blizz is teasing us with doesn't know squat about WoW. Anyways, yes this IS the best weapon in the game (for the classes that can use it at least) and WILL last well into Cataclysm. Just in case no one has figured it out yet, the stat changes that are coming with Cataclysm will also affect EXISTING items. Yes, that will mean that most likely this very weapon will boast a ridiculous amount of both stam and strength. Say what you will, but come that time, you can expect Shadowmourne to holds it's own just fine! :)

I have a question for those who already have it. I am on the Infusion quests now, and it seems I still get whispers. Will the whispers continue AFTER you have obtained the shadowmourne (kinda like the Corrupted Ashbringer did) ? Or is it only during the questline in ICC while you have Shadows Edge?

I'm of the opinion that Legendary weapons should scale with the level of the player, much like BOA heirlooms do. The mechanic already exists in the game now.

Obtaining them still required a herculean effort to obtain, may even be regarded as feats of strength, and when seen in game evoke pangs of nostalgia for old skool accomplishments.

Legendary weapons won't be any less legendary if they were permitted to scale like heirlooms.

I think a really good reason to go for this weapon (even tho it looks like trash compared to other Legendarys and besides the feat of strength acheve) is to go for the chest that LK drops on 25, it can only drop if someone in raid has shadowmourne equiped.Inside the chest worth mentioning is a very nice, red "dk", mount and a very very nice tabard.and if you are not interested in these, they are not Bind on pickup but insead Bind on Useso u can sell these for A LOT of $money$, definatly something to go after.

Lamento Sombrio has become very easy to get with Cataclysm being out, just takes abit of time really.I'm currently working on the shard-collecting (Just started), and it haven't taken me an aweful lot of time.I got the Blood from Festergut & Rotface in the last weeks of WotLk, and have been casually farming Primordials through Cataclysm's first weeks.The 50 kills for the souls didn't take long either, Thank god for a reduce on the count!The infusions was kind of a pain to get people for, most people just want to kill the bosses & move on.And here i am - Working on the shards, soon to be wielding this great axe.I hardly doubt it'll get any easier to obtain, ofc, with new content coming out, the bosses will most likely go down faster, but thats not always helpful.

Comentado por 822077

First:Buy the 25 saronites 5500 justice points,then kill Rotface and festergut.Second:You have to bring 5-10 persons and kill 50 trash hiting all of them with the ShadowEdgeThird:The infusion are difficult. Unholy infusion:You have to use the abomination and when you have 100 energy and the boss is in 50% or something like that you use the infusion(Buttons 4) Blood infusion:You have to aproach the tank to be target of blood mirror then your team doesnt have to dps because if they dont do it you'll get the first bite then bite 3 times and kill the queen Frost infusion:You'll have to get hit by 4 Breaths and kill the boss

Fourth:Shards:You'll have to hunt the shards at 25 heroic for 5-10 weeks and you will get it

Comentado por Therlen

Since Cataclysm has come out this axe is easy to get, run ICC 25 man to get the bloods, run cataclysm normal to get enough justice points to buy the primordial saronites or buy them off auction house if they are up. Getting light's vengence is easy as hell...Hardest part for getting shadowmourne is going to be getting the bloods and then killing all the bosses after that.

Comentado por Therlen

Oh, and shadowmourne doesn't look dull...if you actually look at it and then look at frostmourne they look alike...just don't put an enchant...Runeforge is okay because it should match...rune of the fallen crusader is best choice.

During the encounter control the ABOMINATION by clicking on the table where Putricide is standing. Your goal is to gain 100 ENERGY BY SOAKING THE OOZE FROM THE FLOOR then upon getting 100 energy you click the button marked SHADOW INFUSION and is a 4 SECOND CAST. The easiest way to drink the ooze is stand right in the centre of the puddle and spam 1 until the puddle is gone. Once you have completed the cast and gained the buff you now have 6 MINUTES TO KILL PP.The cast of Shadow Infusion is best saved for final few %% near the final phase shift (roughly 50% you want to cast this) Once it hits phase 3 avoid taking damage by standing away from PP.

TASK 1 Gain the buff BLOOD MIRROR this is gained by standing with the tank as they engage BQL. Once you have gained this buff, move away so the OT then gains it. Once the blood mirror buff is cleared you gain a de-buff called GUSHING WOUNDFerida Torrente

TASK 2 You must now become a VAMPIRE to do this you must be the FIRST PERSON TO GET BITTEN (first bite is 15 seconds after you engage her) or BE THE SECOND PERSON BITTEN (otherwise if your group is filled with 85's your dps and timing for bites will be lost and she will be dead) then you must BITE 3 PEOPLE

Once the buff THIRST QUENCHED Sede Saciada is gained you have 6 MINUTES TO KILL HER *Note, the buff sometimes does not appear, so once you know you have bitten 3 people it is fine to burn her down*

To make getting the bites easier, split the raid into two groups. left side of the room PEOPLE WHO WANT THE BITE. and right side of the room PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT THE BITE. Assign one person to DPS from the start that way they can concentrate on biting you. Also at certain points you may need to call out for DPS to stop. Vent is extremely handy for this.

During this encounter you need to get hit by Sindragosa's FROST BREATH Sopro Gélido 4 TIMES you will gain a stacking buff called Infusão Gélida which will stack 4 TIMES upon reaching your 4th stack of this you will gain a buff called Lâmina Imbuída de Gelo you now have 6 MINUTES TO KILL SINDRAGOSA

In order to complete this with the most ease wait until her Second Landing happens. Sindragosa is permanently grounded at 35% Each Frost Breath is cast every 20 seconds, (you need roughly 80 seconds of total time to gain the 4 buffs) You need to start gaining buffs after her FIRST AIR PHASE. That way you can gain at least 3 breath stacks before she reaches p3, in the final phase gain 1 more stack of breath and infuse the weapon then stay away from the raid, make sure you pop all your CD's to keep alive and always have 1 healer looking after you.

I was mounted the entire fight on my warrior during this stage with full frost resistance gear equipped and I stayed that way until she was dead.

YAY! You're on the last quest now but this is the pain in the ass part. Due to most people these days generally not having any skill whatsoever, this part becomes hard if you cannot find reliable players to farm heroic modes for your Fragmento Sombrigélido

Well I hope you guys enjoyed my little walkthrough, I hope it helps those who are wondering how the hell to do the infusions and farm the shards.

My best advice is take people who know what they are doing. Even if it takes weeks to set it up it will save you headaches in the long run. Good Luck and enjoy!

Soul Fragment generation works off the Procs per minute system, and has a very high number of occurrences per minute. Current testing has shown that auto attacks on average generate one fragment every two seconds, and special abilities generate fragments at the same rate for a combined total of approximately one Soul Fragment every second on a single target. In AoE situations the Fragments gained per second will increase, but because not all of the players GCD's will be used to do AoE it is still unclear exactly how much faster fragments will be generated (in terms of Fragments gained per second) per target added for each class.

Shadowmourne is epic weapon xD

Comentado por Chekan

Here is the way to do all prequests in 1 run:

First of all get 25xSaronita Primordial (very easy to get in Dalaran for justice points) and Vingador da Luz. Also try to gather the raid yourself, so you will be the one, who rules and warn ppl that items from Rotface and Festergut are reserved.1. To do O sagrado e o corrupto just kill first 4 bosses and then Festergut and Rotface.2. Then you need to go Frost wing for Um banquete de almas. Remember that you need to equip O Limiar das Sombras and hit every enemy mob to get credit for kill. Its very easy to get all 50 souls during Valithria Dreamwalker encounter on heroic mode, just run around hitting everything you see (i did it in holy spec as paladin).3. As soon as Valithria is down and quest is complete switch to Plague wing again for Infusão profana.4. Continue to Blood wing for Infusão sanguinária. Just make sure you are either bitten first or second. Make ppl stop dps untill you get 3 bites, other way shout WIPE! like crazy.5. Last step is Frost wing for Infusão gélida. Here is also tricky part. Its easy to fail even on HM. Make ppl stop dps before P3 and wait for 4 stacks.

You can not transmog an item into this one, however, you CAN transmog the "unenchanted" version of this weapon which is the O Limiar das Sombras.

Also, if you enchant the item with one of the glowing spells then you can sort of mimic the effects. For tanks I strongly suggest Andavento which will give it a whitish/yellow glow. If you want to keep the blue glow, I would suggest going for Proteção de Lâmina which is also a rather nice perk for tanks as each time you parry you will do a bit more damage (not much, but it's there).

Hunter weapon.

Comentado por 984538

That comment about Shadowmourne being a Hunter weapon was a funny joke. It was a joke, right? Because if it wasn't, we have someone in the room that really epitomizes the term "Huntard", folks. Classes would take priority on this item as follows, Warriors, Death Knights, Paladins. Hunters are the last viable class that might want this and even then, there's a lot better choices for Hunters. First of all, melee weapons are to Hunters as range weapons are to Warriors. A hunter would get this solely for it's armor penetration. Does anyone see warriors going around killing people with bows? No, you don't because a Warrior can't kill someone with a bow.

I'm sure you had a lot of newbies fooled, thinking Hunters actually had any priority over this weapon. Warriors have priority over this weapon not only because every single stat, slot, proc of this item compliments a Warrior's needs. This weapon is also a K.O hitter. Those bleed effects Mr. Huntard was talking about is most affected by weapon damage, not attack power, not strength. Weapon damage is the source of bleed effects. I hope to God those likes are for a laughable comment and not a "Oh yeah, I agree with this." comment.

For the shard farming part its a faceroll, it's extremely easy and can be done with few people on 25 HC i would recommend atleast 15 ppl or more just cause of the fact that it will be slow if your group is too small!

Comentado por MuchODinaros

For me the guides for the infusions were bit lacky and too "explainative" and made the targets easy missable.My thoughts for MoP and farmers. - You can enter nowadays in party, though if you are bringing friends set the raid before you go in or it will bug and others cant enter and trash will reset when you then try to change it.

1. Farm the rep honoured (trash from start 25man is easy if you are a tank class), so you get the quest.2. Get quest for 25xSaronita Primordial and Vingador da Luz (LV is from the cave so get it be fore you start do other stuff inside).3. Kill Rotface and Festergut for the bloods in O sagrado e o corrupto4. Kill trash untill you get 50 kills for Um banquete de almas, remember to equip your cool O Limiar das Sombras5. Get Infusão profana from start. Putricide: Equip O Limiar das Sombras, drink stuff from table -> you a construct, drink pools untill u get 90 (or was it 100 power for construct), press the extra button to infuse SE -> Kill the boss untill your buff runs out.6. Back to start and get Infusão sanguinária. You need to get bitten by the boss and bite 3 other players. You can bite every 60sec. Once you have the infusion buff, kill boss before it runs out.+ If you doing with minimal group you can use 3 resses -> 4-5 is enough. + 2 first in threat are concidered tanks, 3rd person is bitten when the fights first bite comes from boss. + Bite someone and let him die untill he has to bite (fires easy way to commit suicide there)7. Pickup Infusão gélida. Engage boss, be a tank and/or stand in front of him eating breath -> stack to four and kill boss before your buff runs out.

Done!

Notes:+ Fragmento Sombrigélido doesn't always drop from LK even in HC.+ Shards since started: 1 + 7 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6+ For the grinding parts, you can kill all bosses in 25HC with 3ppl now in MoP except: Putricide because of the buff at HC and Lich King cause valkyrs will kill your buddies and dps at the start of MoP isn't enough to finish him (1tank&healer+3dps is enough for us to push him to 40% to change phase and valkyrs drop victims to the spawned edge and nobody dies). If you got 3 ranged DPS and bloodlust on first transition you get to skip valkyrs and boss will be 15%-20% easily, atleast for us.+ Marrowgar need 2 in HC if you are not a goblin/worgen/panda(?) because you get impaled and die. Even when 2-manning one must be one of the new races to open other. If you bring 3, you wont get impaled during bonestorm though..

Updated shard count, all weeks we killed all but 2 bosses on heroic (Putricide normal due dot and Lady Deathwhisper from which my friend still needs transmog from normal mode)

After almost three long years of farming Shadowmourne, I finally got it last night, April 10th 2013. I will give you some tips and tricks, plus statistics on how I got Shadowmourne personally.

First of all, this is NOT easy to get, even in Mists of Pandaria, it is still one of the HARDEST legendaries to obtain, and once you start, you need to finish.

I killed a total of 116 ICC Bosses from Start to Finish, this means this took me close to 17 weeks (real time) of hard-grinding to get this weapon, not counting the wipes and failures, and breaks on top of that.

The first quest you will receive to start the quest chain will require, 25 Primordial Saronites (this can be purchased with Justice Points in Dalaran if you cannot buy them off the AH), Light's Vengeance (after an Elite Scenario that has to be solo'd), and Rotfaces + Festerguts bloods (only drops on 25 Man).

The next part will require you to kill 50 NPCs (Trash or Boss). This is significantly easier than it was for me, which I had to kill 1,000 Souls, so be grateful lol.

The next part is the three infusions, in order: Unholy, Blood, and Frost.Unholy is straight forward, collect the pools, once you have enough energy, use the infusion, and then you are finished with Unholy Infusion.Blood Infusion is straight-up hell. You need to be the first (preferably) or second one bit then you need to bite three people, AND kill the boss for the infusion to finish. This comes extremely close to the Berserk timer, so you need to have coordination.Frost Infusion defies all past raiding instructions. For this one, the fire = candy. Eat the Candy, and it's game.

Finally, you get to go into ICC25/25H and get to go fetch 50 Shards for 4+ Weeks, and last but not least, kill The Lich King, and get pretty loots.

and as you said some spells/attack already ignore armor....But Hunters need 1400 Arp in Wotlk 3.3.5a but they also have spells/attacks which stock ignore armor.

Upgrade them with valor points, other weapon, quests, scale them like heirloom or whatever, but make them come back. Those weapons, which requires months of quest grinds and have quest stories deserves it.

Comentado por warioras

Guys who wants to wield this weapon again I can say that it scales in the arena 90 lvl to 590 item lvl. So now just get it and collect the souls of your enemies in the battlegrounds and arenas :D GL everyone.

I know it's late, but this weapon really shouldn't have been given to paladins. I know the gameplay reason they did it, but I'm pretty sure you'd lose connection to the light for the sins you must commit to make this axe. Again, I understand the gameplay reasons, but I think paladins should've just gotten something different. Perhaps a Mace version of Ashbringer?

A tip. If you like being godlike in bg's, arenas and like playing a fury warrior I STRONGLY advise you to:

Step 1: Level up a warrior to 80.

Step 2: Start gearing your character up by doing Ruby Sanctum 25hc and ICC25hc runs, starting the Shadowmourne questline is essential and so is getting Deathbringer's Will trinket from Deathbringer Saurfang 25hc and Sharpened Twilight Scale 25hc.

Step 3: Start farming Eye of Sulfuras and get the mats for Sulfuron Hammer in order to craft Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

Useful info:Old t10 set bonuses are gone and now only gives you a 5% physical damage increase + an all damage done increase by 5% which isn't worth going for as those extra gem sockets you get from ICC25hc gear is a lot more effective (DO NOT GO FOR PANDARIA BOE's, they are extremely bad after 6.0!). PvP gear is useless now as with the resilience today would only give you about 20% anyway even if you're fully geared. You wan't to gem pure critt with an activated meta gem and enchant full mastery. Remember to buy the new WoD enchants, they work.

Farm long enough and eventually you will have a character dual-wielding 2h legendaries where both are actually BiS. - "How is the Sulfuras handy? It's for lvl 60's?"

Here's what's wonderfull. For all characters level 80-89 the gear and weapons scales to 429, meaning it's not enough with a FREAKIN SHADOWMOURNE but you also have a FREAKIN SULFURAS with best ilvl in that level-range + all you're gems, enchants, ICC reputation ring, and trinkets.

I have done this with a lvl 80 DK but since DK's can't dual-wield 2 2h's I only got him Shadowmourne as it's more powerfull than Sulfuras and the farm for the eye is just a pain. For my warrior, I have managed to farm a Sulfuras and am currently missing 14 shadowfrost for Shadowmourne so it's soon time for not only #rekt which I would define my playing as at the moment but #UGOTREKTSON.

Hope this encourages people to atleast try. It's an extremely lot of work, and leveling is to be honest nothing compared to the rest.

Doesn't seem to proc for me anymore @ 98 fury warrior.

Seems to be unreliable proccing after 6.1, sometimes won't proc ever until loading screen, or until respec.

Is it possible to get the quest by using this and killing the LK by only equipping it at the last sec of killing LK?

Apparently the scaling mechanics will make it viable to use Shadowmourne in Timewalking dungeons. I'm looking forward to being able to use this thing in relevant content again.

With the introduction of Timewalking dungeons, this weapon is quite useful again.

IMPORTANT: Only **one Quest part require a Group of least 4 players to success complete.

Exeption: If you got a Shaman (Reincarnate), or Druid for (Rebirth) that can res himself/others for a second bite.Warning: Attempting this tactic require that you already are low HP (fast death) and have not been mind controlled.(Then you will only need in total 3 players) = 1x Quest holder + 2x victims.

Edit: Corrected written text, added new smoother explainations.Edit: Corrected written text, Changed Shadows Edge to Shadowmourne in Q.part-FINAL.Edit: Corrected written text, Changed incorrect text on Part 5, Now Corrected.

You can duo Blood Infusion with a Shaman or Warlock as a Death Knight. Have your partner stand toward the back of the room and make sure you are first to get aggro - best if you are in tank spec to modify your threat.

You'll need to get bitten and have your partner just focus on healing his or herself. Give them an idea of the time remaining for you to change to a vampire - then bite them. At this point, they can simply die. They need to wait until you are bitten again to reincarnate...then repeat the process.

This time, you will need to use your Battle Resurrection to get them up after being bitten again. After three bites, you can burn the boss down and complete the infusion.

Why does the weapon get slightly nerfed when doing WotLK timewalking? That seems kinda going against getting a legendary weapon to have fun in timewalking dungeons, isn't it?

Yesterday I started on my new DK the quest chain. Here's an easy to-do step by step to receive (hopefully) a Shadowfrost Shard in your first reset. Be sure to have always on 25 normal, and you have the axe in your hands when doing Infusion quests.-Buy 25 Primordial Saronite (you can buy at Dalaran vendor, but propably cheaper from AH)-Set 25 normal, go into ICC, pick up the quest from Mograine-Go to the cave in Crystalsong and loot the hammer-Kill first 4 bosses, then go for Rotface and Festergut. Kill them, loot their bloods.-Hand in this quest, pick up next.-Now go and clear either Valithria's trash+the trash before Blood Council.(you can as well kill them now)-Hand in the 50 soul quest, pick up Unholy Infusion.-Go to Prof. Putricide, equip your Shadow's Edge, pull, do some damage to him. Let him cast 3-4 slime puddle, then pop Army of the Dead, then click on the table asap, spam 1-1-1-1-1-1-1, until you can cast 6. Leave the mutation and kill the boss, you have a 6 min buff on you if you did everything right.-Hand in quest, got Blood infusion.-Now you need a shaman, to be honest, any level can do who can join ICC, but the easiest is something around 90. (We did both with a 85 and a 90 shaman, both in heirlooms). Use Raise Ally glyph on the dk, go blood, if you see the damage is high, set Conversion talent. This is the trickiest part, we did with the following tactic: Shaman gone resto, Earth shield on himself, you pull the boss, damage her to ~80%, then wait for first bite. Shaman just heal himself. You bite shaman, shaman then dies. Wait until there's about 5-10 sec left from next bite, then cast Raise Ally on shaman. He shouldn't accept now, because boss is in the air, doing heavy damage. When she fly down, accept res, you bite him again. He now should die (85-90s die faster :) ). Then wait until next bite, be sure not to use Reincarnation when shes in the air. Then shaman res, you bite 3rd time, then you get a buff again for 6 min, then you can kill the boss.-Hand in quest, pick up Frost infusion. -This is now easy, and you can solo from here again, just stand before Sindragosa, let her cast the breath on you, you'll see 2 debuff, 1 is the normal breath with timer and 1 is your what has only stacks, but no timer. After 4th breath this debuff go, you'll get again the 6 min buff to kill the boss. Do it now.-Hand in quest, pick up the collecting part.-Set to heroic, kill the Lich King, loot your first Shadowfrost Shard (if you're lucky), cross finger's for Invincible's Reins , and receive instead Music Roll: Invincible

The true question is: will this literally become a hunter weapon with the reintroduction of melee hunters in Legion?

It is possible to do every quest except O trono fragmentado collection quest in one lockout. I attempted to do this quest chain with a boosted character, so I had to start everything from scratch.

Start with lots of room in your bags. You'll need to get naked a few times for these quests. Grab 25xSaronita Primordial from either the random dusty corner of your bank or buy from the auction house. You can also buy them from a vendor for 120g each in Dalaran or ICC if you're exalted with Sunreavers or the Silver Covenant, but the AH is usually cheaper.

Set your raid instance to 25-man Heroic. First, you need to reach friendly with the Ashen Verdict. Clear trash up to Morrowgar, then run out and reset. Takes ~45 minutes to an hour in 7.3.2 with a human character. Reset the instance one more time.

Unequip everything except O Limiar das Sombras and remove any talents that do passive damage. You cannot one shot the trash or you will not get credit. You may need resurrection sickness for this. Start at the beginning and kill all the trash you skipped.

Good news, everyone! Time to kill the Professor!

For soloing Infusão profana I found Saeljfkklhen's comment the most helpful: Link. Worked like a charm, but the timing is tight so you may need to reset the encounter time or two.

The issue is that the game treats you like a vehicle when you are transformed into something with abilities, so the boss thinks no one is there and treats it like a wipe and resets. This was a problem for both Professor Putricida and a time or two for Rainha de Sangue Lana'thel so you will have to be careful with timing.

To get friendly rank with The Ashen Verdict, you need to kill all the trash and bosses up to and including Deathbringer Saurfang (you don't have to kill all the trash around the outer spire to get to the gunship).

Saronita Primordial are today relatively cheap on full, high and medium populated servers. Can be bought on the AH for roughly 2000g for 25, again depending on the server.

Next, if you kill only Festergut and Rotface for the bloods while leaving the other bosses and trash up, you can do the next quest which requires you to kill 50 enemies and every Infusion quest plus get two Fragmento Sombrigélido from Valithria and The Lich King in one lockout. This minimizes the time you have to spend to finish Shadowmourne.

There are more than enough trash and bosses to get this quest done in your current lockout you used to collect the reputation and bloods. If you killed the trash to get to Festergut and Rotface, don't worry, there are about 70-80 more enemies in the frost and blood quarters. Kill only the Blood Council among bosses.

The debuff on enemies which marks them to be consumed and counted for the quest will not be applied if you one shot trash. You must therefor get the resurrection sickness, this is easiest to get by going outside the raid, mounting up and then dismount and die from fall damage.

Assemble a group with 2-3 more people (if you have 2 party members instead of 3, one of them need to have a combat ress).

Tell your group to not damage the boss, they should only keep the aggro on the boss while you click the table to become a giant.

Use the ability on your new actionbar to consume the slime pools when they spawn.

When your energy bar to the right has reached 100, click the Shadow's Edge icon. When the cast is completed you are given a new buff and you can now kill the boss. To make the giant die, you may need to stand in the slime pools.

This quest is why you need to be at least 3 or 4 in a group in order to complete it. Tell your group to once again not to damage the boss, but also let one or two of your group remove all their gear so that you or another can kill them when they get mind controlled. Also tell them not to bite anyone, just let their timer expire and become mind controlled.

You start with one standard melee attack with Shadow's Edge so that you get the aggro. After a short time you get the debuff which makes you able to bite other players. Click the only ability on your new action bar while targeting a player you want to bite to bite them, preferably a player without gear.

As easy as it sounds, you simply kill all the bosses every week in 25 normal or 25 heroic until you have collected 50 Fragmento Sombrigélido. If you saved Valithria and The Lich King in your first lockout, you can get two additional shards.
